Object Pronouns
Object Pronouns are divided into Disjunctive Object Pronouns and Conjunctive Object Pronouns.[1]
When used as the object of a preposition, a personal pronoun is said to be in the disjunctive form or prepositional form (not used in conjunction with the verb).
| mí | me |
| tí | you (familiar) |
| él | him or it (m) |
| ella | her or it (f) |
| usted (Ud.) | you (formal) |
| nosotros (as) | us |
| vosotros (as) | you (familiar) |
| ellos (as) | them |
| ello | neuter |
| ustedes (Uds.) | you all(formal) |
m - masculine
f - feminine
Spanish Disjunctive Object Pronouns are used in a similar way as in English. See the examples below:
Ellos hablan de mí. - They speak of me.
Nosotros trabajamos para él. - We work for him.
Ella confía en tí. - She trusts you.
Usted se declara contra ellos. - You declare against them.
The direct and indirect object of verb may also be rendered by the pronoun in the Disjunctive form preceded by á, as:
| á mí | me or to me | direct and indirect object |
| á tí | you or to you | direct and indirect object |
| á él | him or to him, | direct and indirect object |
| it (m.) or | direct and indirect object | |
| to it (m.) | direct and indirect object | |
| á ella | her or to her, | direct and indirect object |
| it (f.) or | direct and indirect object | |
| to it (f.) | direct and indirect object | |
| á nosotros-as | us or to us | direct and indirect object |
| á vosotros-as | you or to you | direct and indirect object |
| á ellos | them or | direct and indirect object |
| to them (m.) | direct and indirect object | |
| á ellas | them or | direct and indirect object |
| to them (f.) | direct and indirect object |
We have then a double form for the pronouns used as direct and indirect object of verb--one Conjunctive, the other Disjunctive.
The Conjunctive form is that in general use.
The Disjunctive form is employed when emphasis or distinctness is required. It is seldom used alone,[3] Spaniards preferring to use it as a repetition after having used the Conjunctive form, as:
- Él me ama á mí.
He loves me. - Él nos vende á nosotros géneros estampados y á V. géneros de fantasía.
He sells to us printed cloth and to you fancies. - Yo le quiero ver á él y no á ella.
I wish to see him and not her. - Déle V. el dinero á él y los libros á ella.
Give him the money and her the books. - Dé V. el dinero á él y los libros á ella.
Give him the money and her the books.
- Nominative case for the Subject pronouns
- Accusative case for the Direct object pronouns
- Dative case for the Indirect object pronouns
the same for both direct and indirect objects, but the 3rd pers.
differs.
him more than me), "me pagarán" is understood after que.
